Hystar, based in Høvik, Norway, has been awarded a substantial €26 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund to support its green hydrogen production expansion. The company specializes in PEM electrolyzer stack technology, known for its cost-effectiveness and performance improvements in green hydrogen plants. By automating the production line at its Høvik facility, Hystar aims to streamline operations and accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen by reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. With an existing production line capable of producing 100 MW annually, Hystar is already contributing to commercial projects. However, with the aid of the EU grant, the company plans to establish an automated GW factory that will increase its annual capacity to 1.5 GW by 2027 and further scale to 4.5 GW by 2031. This expansion will not only boost Hystar's production capabilities but also strengthen its position in the green hydrogen sector, fostering a more sustainable energy future.
